Atsushi Ōkubo ( 大久保篤), also romanized as Atsushi Ohkubo, is a Japanese manga author and fantasy artist known for his work on the manga series Soul Eater, which has been adapted into an anime. Okubo worked as an assistant under Rando Ayamine, on the manga series Get Backers. He also created artwork for various cards for the Lord of Vermillion game.
Atsushi Ōkubo was not a model student and was more attracted to drawing than to learning. At the age of 20, after finishing studies at a manga school where he met Rando Ayamine, the author of Get Backers, he became Rando Ayamine's assistant for two years. Finally, he won a competition at Square Enix's Gangan magazine with his first manga series B.Ichi and it was published for four volumes. After the end of his last manga, he created Soul Eater, still for Square Enix's Gangan magazine, which brought him worldwide success.
Solo voy a decir que gracias Maki, gracias Arthur, por siempre darme contenido bueno y de calidad. Es lo poco salvable de este volumen para mí.
Porque para empezar, me fastidia que desde el tomo pasado tenga que aguantarme al pesado e imbécil del hermano de Maki y que encima Hinawa no le dé su lugar cuando les ha salvado literalmente el trasero anteriormente a todos ellos.
Y luego tenemos a Kotatsu que es una inútil y solo la tienen allí para ser más manoseada que fruta de mercado. Es que verdad, que rabia. Y aunque al final parece haber un intento de reivindicación, lo siento pero es que yo no me creo nada.
Y bueno, está Arthur que es lo mejorcito. Él y Maki. Porque el resto se siente un poco forzado, además de que las transiciones de ciertas escenas a otras demasiado antinaturales para mi gusto. Muy forzado todo.
رفتن زیرزمین چیزای جدیدی فهمیدن و فهمیدیدم داپلگینر کونرو ترسناک به نظر میرسه اگه هنوز زنده باشه یا بشه دوباره مدلش باشه. اگه همه داپلگینر داشته باشن، داپلگینر واکا چی میشه!!
در نهایت اخجون واکا قراره یادشون بده پس قراره واکا رو بیشتر ببینیم.
A bit better than the previous one but it is still nothing special in my opinion. We've seen many cool fights and moments that these do not seem very interesting to me. Ritsu the zombie girl comes back and we learn that her, well the organization in general, plan is to destroy Tokyo with infernal explosion. Maki shines in this volume and she could be my favorite female character in the series. Also, I laugh every time Captain Honda headbutts someone to death. Juggernaut is a cool dude as well.
Część dziewiętnasta jest bezpośrednią kontynuacją napoczętych wydarzeń, momentalnie wrzuceni zostajemy więc w środek trwającej akcji. Treść jest bardzo dynamiczna i nie ma tu nawet ułamka sekundy na nudę. Nawet nie wiemy, kiedy naszym oczom ukazuje się ostatnia strona tomiku, a my chcemy jeszcze więcej „ognistej akcji”. Ludzie w bieli kontra strażacy, każdy z bohaterów znajdzie tutaj godnego siebie przeciwnika, co potrafi doprowadzić do sytuacji skrajnie dramatycznych. W celu jeszcze większego podkręcenia atmosfery, autor decyduje się tutaj podzielić walki na kilka części. Każda grupa ma więc okazję zaprezentować w pełni swoje możliwości.
Największą uwagę oczywiście przyciąga walka Shinry i Giovanniego. Nie chodzi tutaj tylko o jej intensywność (pozostałe pojedynki są równie ekscytujące). Potyczka ta bowiem pod swoją wierzchnią warstwą widowiskowości skrywa kilka nowych fabularnych puzzli, które kolejny raz rozwiną tło całej historii. Jasną stroną tytułu jest również powracająca Maki, dla której SSP jest bardzo ważne, nawet jeśli oznacza to sprzeciwienie się ojcu.
Vol. 18 and 19 are more filler arcs than anything. Ohkubo tried to make it look relevant to whatever shadowy things are happening in the background. But really, it doesn't add anything new to push the overarching plot forward.
I really dislike Huamea, and Ritsu and Giovanni are also grossly overpowered assholes. Company 2 was pretty decimated this time - I don’t think it was a good plan to go in the way they did.

I’m starting to get bothered with how Ohkubo writes his female characters in this story, considering how interesting and well written “Soul eater” girls were.

Alright, Juggernaut survived just minus a few limbs! Maki is back! Konro from Company 7 has to do with Adolla? Doppelgangers? Training with Company 7 again! They are going to grow by so much!

Maki is so amazing I loved her swooping in to save the whole empire. I’m fascinated by the “doppelgängers” aim excited to see hue that storyline unfolds.
Very interesting, action-packed, funny and dramatic volume, this one had everything. Here it finishes the arc with a satisfactory ending for me. It seems the mangaka is "paying" more atention to characters like Arthur (probably my favourite) and Maki in the last couple of volumes. I hope it goes the same way for Tamaki, i'm ready for her to stop being the comic relief ALL THE TIME and start pulling her weight, which she had done already, i just want to see more of her as a fully capable firefighter :D
I think i'm 2 or 3 volumes away from catching up, i don't like that, it makes me sad D:
